I think I'm on the opposite end of the Blair Scale as JZ. I dig her. She's got a certain something I dig.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Half the time I can't tell if the character Selma Blair is playing is supposed to be mentally disabled in some way...and I think generally the character isn't -- it's just something about her that makes me think that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
She is a rather opaque actress. I love how she looks, but she tends to be somewhat dull onscreen for me. YSBMV

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yet still a better actress than J---a R-----s.

Punishingly Intricate
The redesign of EW is TERRIBLE! What is with the random bolding in reviews, for example?
Selma Blair is one of the tv/movie people I've seen in real life who have made me conclude that most tv/movie people are teeny tiny with HUGE HEADS.

I think the flat affect thing is appropriate for Liz Sherman, as this is someone who accidentally par-broiled her family when her pyrokintetic abilities manifested. That backstory worked well with the closed-off don't-know-where-I-fit-in-ness of the first movie. Not so much when they want to convince me she's (1) a tough, seasoned field agent, or (2) a romantic leading lady who's supposed to be the more together half of the pair.

I have this same problem. One of my friends thinks this about Eliza Dushku, though, which seems crazy to me.

move out and draw fire
One of my friends thinks this about Eliza Dushku
And I think it about Amber Benson, so go figure.
